Project Summary

The Smart campus is a concept of an educational institute using technologies, such as information systems, internet of things (IoT), and context-aware computing, to support learning, teaching, and administrative activities. Classrooms are important building blocks of a school’s campus. Therefore, a feasible architecture for building and running smart classrooms is essential for the smart campus. In this project, an architecture for building and running context-aware smart classrooms is proposed. The proposed architecture consists of three parts including a prototype of a context-aware smart classroom, a model for technology integration, and supporting measures for the operation of smart classrooms in this architecture.

Project Objectives

• We are aiming to build a smart classroom setup that is cost-effective, easily accessible and has feasible installation.
• This smart classroom model will portray all highlights of the smart classrooms that incorporate biometric attendance system, door automation, automatic light and temperature control in the classroom using different sensors, automatic whiteboard eraser and a fire alarm for protection.
• We will use components that are available in Pakistan and economical. All these things will be assembled on a small class prototype and all these tasks and operations will be performed and controlled by a mobile app and Wi-Fi connection.

In short, objectives of the proposed project may be summarized as follow:

•  Biometric attendance system.
•  Automatic sliding doors
•  Automatic light and temperature control framework
•  Automatic whiteboard eraser system
• A fire detection and protection system

Project Implementation Method

The proposed architecture consists of three parts including a prototype of a context-aware smart classroom, a model for technology integration, and supporting measures for the operation of smart classrooms in this architecture. The classroom prototype was designed based on our study results and a smart classroom project at Ming Chuan University (MCU). The integration model is a layered model that uses Raspberry Pi in the bottom layer of the model to integrate underlying technologies and provide application interfaces to the higher layer applications for the ease of building context-aware smart classroom applications. As a result, application interfaces will be implemented using Raspberry Pi based on the proposed technology integration model, and a context-aware energy-saving smart classroom application is based on the proposed classroom prototype and the implemented web application interface. The proposed architecture is feasible for building context-aware smart classrooms in smart campuses.

Project Implementation Method

Theoretical Study:

The smart campus is a concept of upgrading a campus environment in various aspects of emerging technologies. To make classroom activities more efficient, education institutes have been continuously deploying electronic products, such as a microphone, projectors, video camera, and computer into classrooms during the last few decades. Today, a projection system connected to a computer with Internet access is already a basic requirement for classrooms in Taiwan. The next step for education institutes to enhance the functionality of classrooms shall be the introduction of the “Smart Classroom.”With digital native students who are born and raised in an environment full of smart devices and multi-media, learning patterns of the current students need to be understood for developing suitable teaching methods. Like publishing and television network companies, institutes in the education service industry, including colleges and universities, need certain transformation to survive in this digital revolution era. The smart classroom can be a bridge to the future for education institutes. With smart classrooms, teaching methods and learning tools can be enhanced by current and emerging technologies.

Experimental Set-Up:

We proposed a system that is easily implemented in the classroom and cost-effective and saves the time of teacher and student. Our proposed system will create a user-friendly environment that is helpful for both teacher and student.it will improve the level of understanding and teaching. 

The system follows three steps in automating the classroom. They are

1. Sensing
2. Transmission of data
3. Monitoring and Controlling

Benefits of the Project

The system developed can be used in our department for creating user-friendly interference for learning and understanding of students and to provide an energy-saving system to the department.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The proposed project will be practically deployed at any assigned classroom in the university.
